. 1 Figure 1 shows a propeller unit fixed to the centre of the turntable.
The propeller unit consists of a motor-driven propeller and a battery.
The propeller and the turntable have a common axis of rotation.
Figure 1
At first, the turntable and the propeller are at rest.
The propeller motor is switched on and the propeller quickly reaches a high final
angular speed.
The propeller rotates clockwise when viewed from above.
Compare, with reference to angular momentum, the motions of the turntable and the
propeller.
